Vanguard reports that the meeting was attended by the president general of Ohaneze Ndigbo, Nnia Nwodo, emeritus dean of Church of Nigeria, Anglican Communion, Most Reverend Maxwell Anikwenwa and Aloy Ejimakor, counsel to IPOB who represented the organization.

Nwabueze during the meeting emphasized the need for unity.

He said "We will not be united if followers are disenchanted with the leadership.”

The author said that Ohaneze Ndigbo and other leaders of the zone resolved to hold another meeting with southeast governors to pressure for restructuring.

He said: “There is trouble in Nigeria."

"We do not know what will happen in future because we are not prophets , but we can predict and we know there is problem. We love Nigeria, but the leaders of the nation are not doing the right thing. We are not in control of anything in Nigeria.

It is for this reason that we need to come together and be united. We have no control of anything in Nigeria and if we lose control of ourselves, we are finished and we will not let it happen while we are still alive," Professor Nwabueze said.

He said the essence of the meeting was to make everyone understand the need for peace to reign among the people.

“The primary need of Ndigbo now is restructuring not Igbo presidency. We want a restructured Nigeria because that is the only way we get what we want, and every zone would be satisfied. If Nigeria is restructured, that will go a long way to satisfy our demands.

“We don’t want Igbo presidency. As the country is today we cannot get anything until Nigeria is restructured. We can begin to talk about Igbo presidency only when Nigeria is restructured,” Nwabueze added.
